We provide practical and emotional support and stability, aiming to make any stay in temporary accommodation short, rare, and non-recurring. We work in close partnership with organisations like The Housing Network, Community Shop and a large number of Local Authorities.
The Role:
The CEO will be responsible for leading the strategic growth, fundraising, and external engagement of More Than a Roof. This role will focus on developing and communicating the charity’s mission, building strong partnerships, and securing funding to expand our impact across the UK.
The CEO will act as the external face of More Than a Roof, engaging supporters, funders, and strategic stakeholders to raise awareness and increase income. While the charity exists to support individuals & families experiencing homelessness, delivery of frontline services and direct engagement with residents is undertaken by our partner organisations, such as The Housing Network. The CEO will ensure that the voice and experience of those we support shapes our fundraising narrative, advocacy, and programme design, without duplicating the operational role of our delivery partners.
Key Responsibilities:

- Collaborate closely with on-the-ground partners, such as Community Shop in Leicester, to ensure integrated support.
- Collect and maintain accurate beneficiary data and records, ensuring compliance and contributing to outcome reporting.
- Actively support the charity's social media presence and engagement.
- Play a key role in fundraising activities, demonstrating a proactive approach and a proven track record of successful fundraising initiatives.
- Regularly report to and support the Board of Trustees, providing updates on beneficiary progress and charitable activities.
About You:
We are looking for an exceptional individual who is passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness. You will be a self-starter with a proactive approach, comfortable working independently as the charity's first paid employee.
Essential Skills & Experience:
- A proven track record of working in a local charity, demonstrating an understanding of the charity sector, particularly in the field of homelessness.
- Confidence and a highly self-motivated approach, capable of managing your own workload effectively.
- Knowledge and understanding of the homelessness sector, its complexities, and challenges.
- Solid understanding and practical experience of safeguarding principles and procedures.
- Familiarity with trauma-informed care principles and their application in support settings.
- Experience in crisis intervention and the ability to respond effectively in challenging situations.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and trust with diverse individuals and families, supporters of the charity and external stakeholders and funders.
- Strong organisational skills with attention to detail for accurate record-keeping and data collection.
- A proven track record in successful fundraising, with the ability to contribute to and lead fundraising initiatives.
